Cost to wrap the car? A good paint job is $5-6K....a MAACO or Scheib one is about $1-3k

About $1500 parts and labor for a solid one color if you had to hire it out.

A printed wrap on a full size 4 door truck would run about $3500.00 installed.

Damn MAACO must be proud of their paint jobs out there. I can get my truck painted for about $300 at the local one near me.

@capthis came over and set the repairs in motion. Will pick up some hardwood block tomorrow.

@Decal Dennis gave me a hand tonight installing my cargo basket.

Wow, a wrap like that will put the car repainters out of business.

I hope so, I'm getting too fat and old to do overall repaints.

Well I didn't really do anything.......but I got my RTL/MCMaster Carr/PSPmfg packages for the Viper so I can bling it up a little and install the engine.

Also got a call from AI. Seems both my engines are in outstanding condition internally (running 40:1 Redline). He joked one didn't even look broke in. My hubs and gaskets on one engine where shot. seems the magnets were not put in right the sensor isn't working right and the timing was off. Probably why its always been a pain to start (Sh$t happens when you buy used engines sometimes). So he promised a good tune up on that one and I'm putting the alum reed block on the other engine since its apart... He's saying they both will be back by Wed/Thurs and not going to hurt the wallet to bad.
